Limit on alcohol bottles or containers when traveling back into the US
Is there currently a limit or maximum allowance of declared number or measurement of alcohol (whether wine, liquor, beer) bottles/containers when traveling into the United States for American Citizens?
This question arose as I recently returned from a (Jamaican) cruise (from the Port of New Orleans) and brought back four 1 liter bottles of rum.
Or does this differ from state to state as well? As alcohol regulation is a deferred state right?

How much alcohol can you bring back across the border?
U.S. Customs and Border Protection allows you to bring up to one liter of alcohol into the country duty-free as long as you're 21 years or older. The amount goes up to 5 liters duty free when you're bringing alcohol from a U.S. insular possession such as Guam, Samoa or the U.S. Virgin Islands.How many bottles can you cross the border with?
Technically there is no federal limit on how much alcohol can be brought in for personal use, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will likely flag you if you're carrying more than a case (e.g. 12 bottles of wine) in your luggage.How many bottles can you cross from Mexico to us?
